From Silence to Strength: A Walk to Acknowledge, Celebrate, and Support Survivors of Domestic Violence

From Silence to Strength: A Walk to Acknowledge, Celebrate, and Support Survivors of Domestic Violence takes place in Ferndale on October 31, 2026. It is a single 5K walk, covering 3.1 miles, and it starts at 10:00 a.m.

This is a walking event rather than a race, so there is no pace to worry about and no reason to train for it in any formal sense. Most people cover 3.1 miles on foot in 45 minutes to an hour, and the only preparation worth doing is a couple of 30-minute walks in the shoes you plan to wear, which is enough to reveal a blister problem before the day itself. Bring a layer for standing around at the start and end, since October mornings cool quickly once you stop moving.
